Carlisle market report CA1
The standing CA1 (Carlisle) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 14,725 sales registered with HM Land Registry in CA1 (Carlisle) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Covers registered sales to July 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: the typical home in CA1 (Carlisle) sold for £150,500 in 2026, the median of 202 registered sales, up 15% on five years earlier. The mean was £175,500, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £1,740 per square metre over the last five years. The figures cover 14,725 sales recorded by HM Land Registry since 1995 and refresh with each monthly release: completed sale prices, not valuations or asking prices.
CA1 is the postcode district covering Carlisle (east) in Carlisle. Districts are a practical way to slice a market: small enough to mean something locally, big enough to have a steady flow of sales to measure.

The going rate for a home in CA1
The CA1 median stands at £150,500 for 2026, built from 202 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £175,500, well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.
House prices per square metre in CA1
The last five years of sales put CA1 at roughly £1,740 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.
England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving CA1 47% below the national figure.
CA1's median sold price, 1995 to 2026
Year by year: the median as it was recorded, and the same figure brought into today's money with ONS CPIH, which is where "did homes get dearer" actually gets answered. Hover shows each year; the legend isolates a series.

In cash terms the typical CA1 home went from £37,000 in 1995 to £150,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 87%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 19% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CA1 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+34.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2015 (−10.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 45% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £267,500 against £114,000 for a flat, 2.3 times the price.

Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 372 sales completed in CA1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 680 sales a year before the financial crisis and 393 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
How CA1 trades
In its area's price order CA1 comes 22 of 28, towards the cheaper end of the table.
The rental side of CA1
The local authority for CA1 is Cumberland, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £666 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £496 a month here against £1,071 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Cumberland
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £150,500 median purchase price, a rent of £666 a month (£7,992 a year) works out at a 5.3% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

What another bedroom costs in CA
What homes of each size actually sold for across the CA area, from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £220,000 | £300,000 (+36%) | £430,000 (+43%) | £523,000 (+22%) |
| Semi-detached | £142,000 | £155,000 (+9%) | £205,000 (+32%) | £265,000 (+29%) | £357,500 (+35%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
